The .thrift files contain "structs," which Facebook describes as "the basic complex data structures... comprised of fields which each have an integer identifier, a type, a symbolic name, and an optional default value you'd like to use. - -The compiler then takes the .thrift file as input, and generates code in the languages you choose. - -Thrift is not the first time Facebook has released code as open source, [previous projects include phpsh][6], but Thrift is definitely the largest Facebook project to go public. - -The Thrift code is being released under the [Thrift Software License][2], which allows for copying, use, distribution and more. - -[1]: http://blog.facebook.com/blog.php?post=2261927130 "Thrift: We're Giving Away Code" -[2]: http://developers.facebook.com/thrift/LICENSE "Thrift License" -[3]: http://developers.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2248652825 "Thrift Developers Group" -[4]: http://developers.facebook.com/thrift/thrift-20070401.pdf "Thrift White paper" -[5]: http://developers.facebook.com/thrift/tutorial.thrift "Thrift tutorial" -[6]: http://developers.facebook.com/opensource.php "Facebook Open Source Projects"
